About this property
Located in the exclusive estate of Sierra Blanca, this impressive modern home is the perfect spot for a luxurious break, enjoying the Mediterranean climate and vibrant coastal towns. Recently renovated, the villa is eco-friendly and finished to a high quality, with modern design and innovative technologies that offer a contemporary feel and elevated comfort level.
Bright and airy, the spaces are exquisite, finished in natural tones and carefully selected furniture. Entering the hall, a large reception area spills onto the terrace and a stunning view of the garden and pool beyond. Enjoying plenty of natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows, the integrated kitchen-living dining room is spacious and inviting, making the perfect space for hanging out during the day or entertaining family and friends. To one side, large sofas are arranged to create a cosier area in front of the flat-screen TV, whilst the other end features a sleek modern kitchen fitted with highly functional Gaggenau appliances. An impressive central island is an excellent place for preparing food together or enjoying a quick breakfast on one of the stools.
Multiple openings From this principal room give access to the glorious terrace, where a large circular dining table invites you to dine al fresco, enjoy long lunches or make the most of the warm evenings by firing up the barbecue to prepare a feast for the entire family. At the other end of the terrace, a more informal seating arrangement offers a lovely, shaded spot to take shelter during the afternoon sun, open a bottle of wine with friends, and chat long into the night whilst watching light features playfully transform the garden into an enchanting scene.
For those looking to soak up the rays, chic sun loungers are positioned along the pool's edge, welcoming you to recline beneath the blue skies and swaying palms or put up one of the many umbrellas to delve into a good book. Tall pine trees and vegetation surround the garden to give a sense of privacy and enclosure, and you can look back from the grassy lawn to admire the mountains that provide a backdrop to the villa's profile. There are hot and cold outdoor showers, while the exquisite saltwater pool invites you to dip your toes in the cool-blue water or jump in for a refreshing swim. A further chill-out area is found at the bottom of the peaceful garden; a large cushion sofa and table are shaded from the sun, making a perfect spot for an afternoon game of gardens or to escape from the house for an afternoon siesta. To the side of the house, there are another two small, terraced areas with outdoor furniture, ensuring all the guests can find a spot to enjoy the warm, sunny days.
Connected to the kitchen via a service elevator, the lower floor features a two-car garage and fitness area. A state-of-the-art Technogym provides a running and rowing machine and weights area for those looking to break a sweat. This level also features a hammam/steam bath, perfect for relaxing after a workout or day out exploring.
From the entrance hall, a sleek staircase takes you up to the first floor, leading to the bedrooms. Finished with parquet wooden floors, all the bedrooms are bright and spacious. Fitted with large wardrobes, the five double bedrooms and seven bathrooms provide ample space for large families or groups of friends. Fitted wardrobes and a walk-in closet give plenty of space for storage, and a large balcony wraps around the front of the first-floor level, welcoming you to wake up and step out to enjoy the peaceful early morning views. There is an additional guest toilet and separate laundry facilities for added convenience.
Nestled in the foothills between La Concha and the Mediterranean, Sierra Blanca is one of the Costa del Sol’s most desirable neighbourhoods. The embodiment of culture, leisure and glamour, Marbella city centre can be reached in less than 10 minutes by car, and the surrounding area boasts an abundance of leisure clubs, entertainment venues and activities to explore.
A mixture of traditional barrios and chic avenues, Marbella is a vibrant cosmopolitan city full of things to do. Built at the end of the 15th century, the Plaza de los Naranjos can be found in the centre of the old town, alongside the Casa del Corregidor, the Town Hall, and the Hermitage of Santiago. Remnants of the city wall from the Muslim period are still visible, as well as Roman columns protruding from one of the towers in Calle Trinidad. For those after some artistic delights, Hospital Bazán houses the works of renowned artists such as Picasso, Miró and Chillida. A collection of bronze sculptures designed by Salvador Dalí are also scattered along the paved Avenida del Mar, which connects the seafront promenade to the Paseo de La Alameda.
Numerous restaurants hug the waterfront, providing a selection of international cuisines with a backdrop of beautiful views out to sea. Stroll along to the city's old fishing quarter, where Playa de la Bajadilla offers a smaller, often quieter, stretch of sand and an arrangement of tables belonging to Puerto Playa, an unbeatable spot to enjoy a seafood supper. The Old Town has several well-respected restaurants, slightly more subdued than the promenade’s main bars. Based in an old converted house, the well-known ZoZoï is a trendy spot with a large courtyard terrace to spend the warm evenings. Another popular choice is The Farm, a charming restaurant tucked down a small alley in a home built in 1502. An original experience that celebrates simple and locally sourced food, its secluded garden makes it a lovely spot for an intimate dinner. Choose from their impressive selection of local wines or be entertained by a weekend flamenco show for a taste of energetic Spanish dancing.
As well as an abundance of golf courses and leisure clubs, Marbella has a strong connection to the increasingly popular game of Padel. Invented in the 1960s, somewhere between tennis and squash, this social game is a great way to spend an afternoon, and there are many courts dotted around the city. For water-based adventures, head down to almost any beach where you will find centres offering sailing, waterskiing and jet skiing, or indulge in a lazy afternoon at one of the many chiringuitos (beach bars). Victor’s Beach on The Golden Mile is great to listen to live music on the weekends whilst enjoying a delicious lunch. Marbella is famous for its nightlife, and many of the bars continue entertaining long into the night. For late-night dancing, check out the streets around Alameda Park or pop into the famous Nikki Beach Club to party to music from the world’s best DJs.
For those looking to escape the city, challenge yourself to scale La Concha. Part of the Sierra Blanca range, La Concha is a mountain approximately 1215ft above sea level. It is a demanding hike that takes an average of five hours to the summit and back. The views from the top are breathtaking, reaching along the coast and, on a clear day, stretching as far as Gibraltar and North Africa.
